As a
court clerk, I am well-versed in the jury-selection process. First, a computer
randomly selects a few hundred citizens from the entire district to report for
jury duty on a particular day. Then another computer assigns 40 of those
present to a courtroom. Then the 40 names are placed in a drum, and a dozen
names are pulled out.
During jury selection for one trial, the judge
asked a potential Juror No. 12 if there was any reason why he could not be a
fair and impartial juror.
"There may be," he replied.
"Juror No.1 is my ex-wife, and if we are on the same jury, I guarantee you
that we would not be able to agree on anything."
Both
were excused.
If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
Delta Airlines recently introduced a special
half-fare rate for wives accompanying their husbands on business trips.
Anticipating some valuable testimonials, the
publicity department of the airline sent out letters to all the wives of
businessmen who used the special rates, asking how they enjoyed their trip.
Responses
are still pouring in asking, "What trip?"
You
never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.
A woman phoned her dentist when she received a
huge bill.
"I'm
shocked!" she complained.
"This
is three times the amount that you normally charge."
"Yes,
I know," said the dentist.
"But
you screamed so loudly, you scared away two other patients.
No
one ever says, 'It's only a game,' when their team is winning."
A
linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day.
"In English," he said, "a
double negative form a positive.
In some languages, though, such as Russian, a
double negative is still a negative.
However, there is no language wherein a double
positive can form a negative."
Then
a voice from the back of the room piped up: "Yeah, right."
It
was a stifling hot day and a man fainted in the middle of a busy intersection.
Traffic
quickly piled up in all directions, so a woman rushed to help him.
When
she knelt down to loosen his collar, a man emerged from the crowd, pushed her
aside, and said, "It's all right honey, I've had a course in first aid."
The
woman stood up and watched as he took the ill man's pulse and prepared to
administer artificial respiration.
At
this point, she tapped him on the shoulder and said, "When you get to the
part about calling a doctor, I'm already here."
